Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Hello, I'm Manuela, This is a time in my life where everything is changing. It's tubulent but I'm not complaining. I'm very pleased with what I've achieved so far, but stoping smoking would be wonderful. I've tried and failed so often. I think that there must be more to it then willpower, since I've managed other difficult things so far. Would any of you know of a crystal that might be helpful in such matters? Although I've always been drawn to crystals, I've never " worked " with them, I only choose them intuitively. At the moment I'm clutching my old friend the hamatit since I'm abroad and he's the one that always travels with me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Love and light Manuela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Manuela, You're right, willpower isn't what's going to stop your smoking. I've heard and learned for myself that in order to stop a habit, a person needs to substitute another better habit that they are passionate about. I didn't know that was what I was doing until I heard someone say that. Find a habit that you love that you can substitute for smoking. Also I've found out that if you consistently keep up the new habit for at least 3 weeks, it gets easier. The first two weeks always seemed the hardest. And if you slip up, don't get mad at yourself. Just start over again. Sooner or later you'll succeed Smoking is not good. I developed asthma from second hand smoke and it's terrible. And I've never smoked myself. Good luck in kicking the habit!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I personally do not know of a crystal to help. What I can tell you is, giving up smoking is like attempting to do anything in life that we all have reluctance to... IE: eating healthy, fitness, etc. To stop a negative habit you have to start with your mindset. Like getting the mind set to eat healthier, workout, etc. Even though you may realize smoking is not good for you, you may still not mentally be prepared to stop. I suggest working on your mind. Just like how you would get your mind to get prepared to beging a work out routine. If you know what I mean. You may want to look into crystals that help with stress and fears right now. Also, once you finally stop smoking I suggest having a plan so you wont restart. Most smokers restart smoking after quitting due to life events such as stressful situation, depression, anxiety, death, etc. You need to figure out a plan ahead of time as to how you will deal with life when it goes south. We all have stressful times in our lifes so have a plan in hand.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I found that hypnosis worked for me I had been a very heavy smoker for over 20 years when I went to a stop smoking seminar and stopped that was 12 years ago. Some people have told me that the clearing the Way attunement helped them but I make no promises. I don't know what the traditional crystals would be but my Pink Stilbite with Apophylite seems to be offering energies for you as well as a whole family of Calcites and Citrine, Chalk, Turitella Agate. Those are some of the ones I have that responded to the question. There really seem to be a lot of crystals that volunteer to help. Some other possibilities include Amethyst, Citrine, Fluorite Hematite, Staurolite,Calcite, Lepidolite, Amber, Rose Quartz, Black Tourmeline, Brown Jasper, Angelite, Smoky Quartz . These have different properties some purify, some help strengthen the will, some promote calmness etc. Andrew Pacholyk, MS, L.Ac* *has a collection of many different remedies and techniques to help people stop smoking on this page http://www.peacefulmind.com/stop_smoking.htm I have not ordered any products from him so I am not endorsing the specific merchandise Peggy Jnetoft -- Peggy Jentoft http://solarraven.com Energywork & Empowerment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I'm using Reiki and I'm trying to establish a better connection to " my " angels and rely on their help. Thanks for suggesting those crystals! I'LL shop around for one that speaks to me and take him/her home. love & light manuela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Manuela- > I'm very pleased with what I've achieved so far, but stoping smoking would be wonderful. <snip> Would any of you know of a crystal that might be helpful in such matters? > As you're experiencing changing this habit can be difficult and quite complex. There are many facets and sheer will isn't always enough. Because habits and addictions take root for different reasons in different people I think it's vital to understand, on a very individual basis, the reason for the habit to begin with. From there a more specific road to healing can be mapped. As I don't know you and your individual circumstances I can only speak in a general sense. Some stone spirits that may offer you some support include: * Gaspeite - Helps us to deal with addiction and addictive personalities. Their medicine helps us to address the root of addiction by understanding where the void that we're seeking to fill in unhealthy ways exists. When we know the source of our pain we can then embrace healthier ways of addressing it that lead to healing. NOTE: The vast majority of Gaspeite available is either stabilized, reconstitute (which is nearly always nothing more than resin, color and unrelated base rock), dyed or altogether synthetic. This is true for both rough and jewelry. It's definitely a case of caveat emptor when it comes to adopting Gaspeite! * Emerald Green Calcite - Allows us to keep our hearts open to realize the healing we need, to not close down during challenges or temporary set backs. These spirits invite us to keep strong during the difficult moments. * Tiger Iron - Supports us in aligning the strength of our spirit with our task at hand, harnessing the energies of our soul for the purpose of greater success. When we're struggling to find the energy for something, including something we may not fully want to do, the spirits of Tiger Iron offers us extraordinary help. * Green Jade & Pink Stilbite - This duet reduces our resistance to a particular dance (Green Jade), while fostering acceptance of the road and its many rewards and challenges (Pink Stilbite). Together we find Grace in our efforts, reducing the " drag " we feel within and around us as we move forward. * Smokey Elestial Quartz - The medicine of cleansing and deep shifting, including shifting patterns and habits held in our physical body. This letting go isn't always easy, but it is necessary to make a clean break from what was to embrace what can be. I hope this helps in some way. I admire your efforts to make yourself and your life healthier by not smoking. Good thoughts to you on your journey.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Hello... strauolite is a great crystal (or mineral) to help stop the cravings for cigarettes... it has the same grounding properties as tobacco... also if you can heat (moxa) " Ren 17 " at the junction of the 4th intercostal space on the sternum, (on the breast bone in line with the nipples), this spot will be quite will be quite sensitive for all of us, especially for smokers... but heating this point will change the flavour of cigarettes... or just rub (press) this point anytime you feel the need for a cigarette... and obviously acupuncture is amazing too... good luck.... love Si.x - Fotograffa Sunday, March 13, 2005 1:59 AM Re: [CrystalHW] Re: Help with stoping smoking I haven't been able to search yet but I have aventurine to help with dieting...maybe it would help with stopping smoking too...??

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 An amethyst will help with any addiction. The best way to do this is to get a polished one that will fit under your tongue. If you get the urge to smoke, pop it under your tongue and keep it there til the urge completely passes. Its good to wear one on a chain around your neck as well. Good luck on the quitting. I quit 8 years ago. If I could do it, you can too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally would drop an amethyst in a glass of water and let it sit overnite. Then drink it next morning with an affirmation of gratitude for your weight loss. State it as the weight loss has already happened, with no doubts in your mind. It can't hurt to try it. Come to think of it, I should be doing it , too!!
